25 September Beauty Launches We Already Love — and You Should, Too!

I'm going to go ahead and give a big, fat "oui oui," to this fancy French-girl Sisley Instant Eclat Primer ($90). I always sort of considered primer to be the foreplay that leads to putting on heavier makeup. Not any more. This silky cream preps skin while also providing a luminous sheen and boost of energy to my eternally tired face. I literally radiate when I wear this mix of pearlescent particles and kiwi extract. I find it to be enough of a light coverage to wear without foundation and pretend I'm Marion Cotillard walking beside the Seine (when in reality I'm just fighting my way through rush hour at Trader Joe's). — Alaina Demopoulos, beauty editorial assistant
